Link Tank: How Monster Girl from Invincible Subverts Female Superhero Tropes
One superhero from Invincible is making big strides for female representation, No Time To Die needed more of this character, reasons to be excited about Ted Lasso season 3, and more in Link Tank!
Monster Girl from Invincible is paving the way for a new generation of female superheroes that aren’t just glamorous.
“In the third episode of Amazon’s adult animated superhero series Invincible — aptly titled ‘Who You Calling Ugly?’ — two members of supergroup Guardians of the Globe butt heads. Rex Splode, who has the power of electricity, mocks the team’s addition of 12-year-old Amanda.”
Ana de Armas stole the show as Paloma in No Time To Die, but her character’s appearance was cut way too short.
“No Time To Die promised us better characterization for the ‘Bond Girls’ in the film, and it did deliver. We were gifted with a performance from Lashana Lynch as Nomi, the new 007 for MI6, and we still got to see Naomie Harris as Moneypenny along with Léa Seydoux’s Madeleine Swann. But there was one of the ‘Bond Girls’ who we only briefly got to see: Ana de Armas as Paloma.”

But there are several ways to get those Genesis or N64 games up and running on a modern HD or even UHD TV without them looking or playing like garbage.”
Sure, Ted Lasso season 2 had some dark tones that threw many fans off, but it also gives us reasons to be excited about the future.
“The second season, which wrapped up last week, provoked heavy social media discourse with every passing episode. The show’s feel-good factor came under scrutiny because of surprisingly darker turns, such as Nate’s (Nick Mohammed) villainous arc, Ted (Jason Sudeikis)’s an emotional examination of his past, and Roy (Brett Goldstein) and Keeley’s (Juno Temple) relationship problems. The season went from having no conflicts in the beginning to too many by the end.”
In wake of his recent scandal and resignation, former Raiders Head Coach Jon Gruden is being removed from Madden 22.
“Jon Gruden, a hateful little man, this week resigned as Head Coach of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders after revelations he sent numerous racist, homophobic and misogynistic emails. He will now also have his face scrubbed from EA Sports’ Madden 22.”
